In our tan obsessed culture achieving that bronze-goddess glow shouldn't come at the expense of our health or turn us into a shade identical to a kumquat... Which is exactly why Cocoa Brown is my latest beauty must-have!

Cocoa Brown products are a refreshing deviation from many typical self-tanners. The brand, which has officially launched in the US, offers products that range from instant bronzing gels, lotions, gradual self-tanners, and the latest shimmering body oil.

Although I'm naturally tan I still want the "I've been lounging in the sun all day" look regardless of the season. For an all over sun-kissed glow I applied the Instant Tan Bronzing Gel in 'Shimmer' to my shoulders, arms, legs, and decollete. It gave me an instant bronze sheen with a hint of shimmer without having to commit to a full-blown tan. The Instant Tan Bronzing Gel can also be used to sculpt & define your face- aka contouring! I recommend using the 'Matte' version on your face for a more natural look.

Whether you're a non-tanner or a dedicated bronze beauty the Golden Goddess Oil is a Cocoa Brown essential! This dry body oil illuminates your complexion and can be used to accentuate specific areas or enhance your entire tan. For this look my makeup artist Averi used it as a highlighter by applying the product to the tops of my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose. It might sound odd to use an oil on your face (especially over makeup) but because it's a dry oil it doesn't leave a heavy, greasy residue. Instead, you're left with a silky-smooth radiant glow!
